Short description

This beautifully appointed Manor House was constructed in 1794 as a coaching inn on the main route from Nottingham.

Now it is a privately owned hotel providing a high level of service and intimacy, which is difficult to find in larger hotels. The hotel provides ample free parking, complimentary Wi-Fi access, good food and drink and state-of-the-art conference facilities. Located as it is just off the M1 between Nottingham and Derby, the hotel is perfect for both leisure and business guests. As one of the closest hotels to East Midlands Airport, just 5 minutes away (but not on a flight path), the hotel is ideal for those wishing to stay a night before or after flying. Close by are the Derbyshire Dales and Peak District.

Hotel information

Donington Manor sits in the thriving village of Castle Donington on the Derbyshire-Leicestershire borders, less than 5 minutes' drive from Nottingham East Midlands Airport, the A50 and the M1 Motorway.

This beautifully appointed Manor House was constructed in 1794 as a coaching inn on the main route from Nottingham to Ashby. It was originally named The Rawdon Hotel and was conceived and built by the Marquis of Hastings. Now a privately owned hotel providing a high level of service and intimacy, which is difficult to find in larger hotels. The hotel provides ample free parking, complimentary Wi-FI access, good food and drink and state of the art conference facilities.

The AA rosette recomended resturant's resident chef, Jeff Cadden, is a master of all things unpretentious, wholesome and home cooked. He is also a firm believer in value for money, so you can enjoy a mid-week lunch or a 3-course dinner for a competitive sum. The restaurant has very loyal local following in Castle Donington and its surrounding villages, so please avoid disappointment by booking ahead. And don’t worry, Donington Manor may date from the 18th century but we have a 21st century attitude towards comfort and relaxation.

For weddings, functions and conferences, Castle Donington is perfectly situated right in the centre of the country and less than a 5 minute drive from both the M1 and A50, and Nottingham East Midlands Airport. All of the meeting rooms enjoy Wi-Fi access and natural daylight.

Room information

The hotel has rooms to suit most budgets and tastes. Some are cosy and simple; some are grand and imposing. Some rooms are sleek and contemporary, and some are gloriously antique. Many bedrooms enjoy unrestricted garden views and most bedrooms have overhead showers as well as baths.

Area information

From the hotel, along Market Street to Borough Street is the largely unaltered late 18th/ 19th century main shopping street. The church of St Edward the Martyr is a splendid example of 12th century ecclesiastical building boasting fine tombs with excellent brass-rubbing possibilities and a very rare architectural feature: a 'double-squint'. A short distance away, along the delightful narrow street called Apiary Gate is the old stone-built house which opened in Easter 2000 as the new village museum.

For fast-paced action and great entertainment, try Donington Park (1 km/ 0.6 miles). Donington hosts a great range of car and motorcycle racing events as well as the Download music festival and numerous exhibitions and fairs.

Nearby (3 km/ 1.9 miles) is East Midlands airport, for those who wish to fly away or do a bit of plane spotting.

Visit Nottingham (6 km/ 3.7 miles) for the Robin Hood Attraction, Castle and excellent shopping.
